Excellence in Goverment
Produced by Government Executive Media Group, Excellence in Government (EIG) is the premier public management conference dedicated to creating high-performance government. The conference offers federal managers access to high-profile keynote speakers and practical, innovative educational sessions. Excellence in Government 2010 will consist of three 1-day events held at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C.
EIG I: The People Factor - April 19
Innovative human resources practices promise new ways to bring out the very best in federal employees. Attendees will learn from cutting-edge thinkers in workforce planning and leadership development about emerging best practices in recruitment, on-boarding, training, retention, experiential learning and other key human capital issues.
EIG II: Open Government - July 19
Nowhere is the call for innovation in government more strongly voiced than among those who are promoting President Obama’s call for transparency, citizen participation and enhanced collaboration. After calling for open government on his first day in office, President Obama in December detailed new requirements for agencies to make more information available and to engage the public and other organizations in the work of government. New technologies, new ways of thinking and a new culture of openness all will be required. Attendees will hear from those who are pushing the practice of open government.
EIG III: The Performance And Results Imperative - November 1
By appointing the government’s first Chief Performance Officer, President Obama signaled his intention to focus agencies’ work on setting goals, measuring performance and achieving results. Innovative practices aimed at promoting these objectives are emerging from the White House, the Office of Management and Budget and in major agencies as well. Learn from experts about the fast-developing art and science of delivering ever more effectively on public sector missions.
